2 Read Anything Aloud for You

macOS also includes an option to read aloud any text you come across. This has some obvious accessibility benefits to those with poor eyesight, but it may be most useful if you are short on time and need to study a document.

Simply highlight the text in that document, then head up to the Edit button at the top of the screen. In Edit, you should see an option for Speech (remember to make sure that text is highlighted).

In Speech, choose Start Speaking, and your Mac should start reading out the text. You can walk around taking care of other business while your Mac recites pretty much anything, making it a great way to check important emails or catch up on research while also completing other tasks. This works for most browsers as well as documents like PDFs.
